1/35 Australian M113 Sponson Armour Conversion Set for AFV Club kits

Australian M113 Sponson Armour for one M113 vehicle

During the Vietnam conflict, the Australian M113s were fitted with sponson armour on each side of the vehicle, to help counter the threat of mines and IEDs. This modification occurred from 1969 onwards. All M113 in Australian service were fitted with this armour. M113 FSV hulls that had their turrets removed and sent to New Zealand Army also had this armour fitted to them.

This update/correction kit is suited to the AFV Club, M113A1 ACAV AF35113, and their M113A1 APC AF35291.
